Okay.

Are diffs checked? And what driveshafts do you recommend? Should last at least 850hp/850Nm.

Yes I want, but are they used or rebuild diffs? And with what ratio?

Do you supply also 6 degree beams?

waste of time money and effort using the 7.5 inch crown wheel and pinion
hence the time and effort spent sorting out the mighty supra diff a straight bolt in conversion even JB fletch couldn't break

not much lol diff cost 700 brand new bearings were about 60 quid then the second c.w.p was 50 from a mate having it done at hewland was the cost of a drink but because it was done by a mates dad! But did cost me about 40 for the pinion bearings nut and crush washer other than that just my time! And yes they are a bit noisy but I bet it locks the wheels up a lot better than a supra diff! But your right not as stronge and to be honest if I brake mine again I may well take the supra route

The supra diff is the dogs
designed by some clever little jap fookers
the power transfer on the supra OE is much better that your agricultural landrover diff
